One of the grand myths of World War II has a beleaguered Josef Stalin inspiring the gallant Soviet Red army to hold a superior German army at bay for years and eventually prevail despite the refusal of his Western allies, the United States and Great Britain, to open a "second front" to relieve battlefield pressures on him.

"As Sir Winston Churchill wryly commented about Stalin's penchant for lying, "The Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter as long as there is reiteration...." If a lie is "repeated often enough and loudly enough, [it] becomes accepted by the people."

Mosier is a supporter of the debunked pseudo-historian Suvorov. The old holocaust denial movement supported Suvorov because he suggested that Stalin was preparing to invade Germany and Hitler was forced to protect Germany by invading Russia.

Matthew, you are a dolt. The concept that war between Hitler andStalin was inevitable was not a fantasy of Suvorov but is commonlyaccepted, in 1939 and today.

Only an idiot would fail to see that Stalin entered into a pact with Hitlerfor strategic reasons.

Suvorov is an ex-Soviet military man and KGB member.A very good source for information on the history of the Soviet military.

No David. You lie non stop as you are a neo-nazi holocaust denier. Are you going to back up your ealier statement that Treblinka was an ordinance factory?

No?

Well piss off then and stop wasting real people's time. Saggy is more entertaining. Jerry Wright is more polite. Matt Giwer is the most comical idiot on the JREF holocaust denial circuit. 9/11 Investigator is almost surrealistic! You are just a small time liar and not worth the bother anymore.

The GRU is the military intelligence agency. The KGB is the combined name of the (current FSB and and SVR) civilian/economic intelligence agencies. David is confused because the KGB uses military ranks for non-executive staff. Suvorov is ex-GRU and had nothing to do with the KGB. Suvorov was a low ranking officer in the 41st Guards Tank army in Siberia. During the 39-45 war he would have been called a political officer and sent to rally the troops in the field. Suvarov made up crap about the BT-7 reconaissance tank as evidence of Stalin's aggression against Hitler. Suvorov also made technical errors about soviet armed forces hardware in 1982 that suggest he was way past his expiry date when it came to soviet technical information. . This is why holocaust deniers all quote Suvorov, despite not knowing anything about him.

Matthew Ellard wrote: Suvarov made up crap about the BT-7 reconaissance tank as evidence of Stalin's aggression against Hitler.

Is this the thing about misinterpreting the removable tracks of the BT-7 as being a deliberate design for roads of better quality than those in the Soviet Union? Was Suvorov the first to come up with this?

Suvarov put forward the argument that the BT-7 was a "fast tank" designed for reconaissance and therefore suggested the Russians were preparing an aggressive war rather than a defensive war. It had thin armour which makes the concept of BT-7's driving along German highways as just plain stupid. Tanks with heavy armour perform the "heavy armoured wedge point" ( Schwerepunkt) not reconaissance tanks. A little german 37mm anti tank gun could penetrate a BT-7. Suvarov was a political officer and not an armour expert.

Cartoons are often the most accurate concepts presented in thenewspaper. In 1939 everyone knew that the peace betweenStalin and Hitler was bound to end with one or the other or bothbetraying the other. It was so obvious that it was put into a cartoon. But maybe you boys don't know that Stalin attacked severalother countries in 1939-40...like Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania,EstoniaHave you ever heard of Finnish Winter War 1939-1940?

So why are you guys getting your undies in knots because someone doesn'tthink Stalin was just some sweet peaceful creampuff of a dictator who wouldn't think of invading anybody?

What are you arguing, Matthew? Suvarov seems to remember somethingyou forgot, like the Soviet invasion of its neighbors in 1939 and 1940.

The BT-7 was produced in the 1930's in large numbers, which sounds aggressive to me. It was a light reconaissance tank. Your assertion that reconaissance tanks need to be heavily armored if they invade Germany but not if they operate in the Soviet Union is stupid even for you.

The Soviets had more T-26s than BT-7s at the start of the war. If the idea that the BT-7 was somehow designed to operate outside the Soviet Union is evidence of a Soviet plan to invade the West, then they must have given up that plan by 1940 when the T-34 entered production. Or maybe in 1939 when they stopped building BT-7s. I still think this BT-7 idea comes from a misunderstanding (deliberate or otherwise) about the option for the vehicle to operate without tracks as a wheeled road vehicle, a feature deemed to be unnecessary in practice, and not included in later models.

I think you have it right.

The original design was American, John Walter Christie. He was a race car driver and had made the tank the fastest in the world with his convertible tread to wheel design and light armor.I pretty much doubt that he was planning to invade Germany and Poland whenhe designed the tank in 1930.

Anyway, Soviet policy is clear not because of the treads on an old tank modelbut because of a course of action by Stalin running from 1939 through theinvasion and post-War occupation of Iran.

It is typical Matthews to come up with some petty nattering rather thanlook at the obvious larger picture.

NOW to defend Stalin- Just like I believe that it was German policy through 1940 to reestablish most of the German territories stripped away in 1919Soviet Territorial Aggrandizement seems to have been limited tothose territories which had been stripped away from Russian in1919. That would be a reasonable riposte to Suvarov's thesis rather thanclaiming that a light recon. tank should be heavily armored.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all...even Matthews, may he get a fewgood history books in his stocking to study.

David wrote: Your assertion that reconaissance tanks need to be heavily armored if they invade Germany but not if they operate in the Soviet Union is stupid even for you.

David you are soooooo stupid you don't know how reconaissance tanks work. Reconaissance tanks don't engage the enemy. You obviously haven't read Suvorov either as you have completely missed his argument that Christie suspension works on German concrete autobahns but not Russian dirt roads.

David's biggest lies in 2010 that he refused to back up or even pretend to justify were.........

1) "5,000 people worked at each Treblinka camp" ( A direct lie with no citation)2) "Treblinka II was also a camp where captured Soviet munitions were processed" ( A direct lie with no citation! What an idiot!) 3) "Treblinka was a transit camp" ( A direct lie with no citation or logic)

However the reason we know David is a complete moron is when he stated the Vichy French ships did not have their boilers fired up and then posted a video of the battle with all the French ships at full steam. At this point I realised David was senile and not worth bothering with anymore.

Well, I bet that you got a lump of coal in your stocking, Matthew, from the soundof your off-topic post.

For anyone attempting to follow, Matthew is trying to refer to theBritish sneak attack on the French at Mers-el-Kébir where1,300 erstwhile French allies were killed. The British started the hostilities by dropping mines in the harbor entrance(in the middle of negotiations) and then firing when the French fired up their boilers. Most of the French were killed while their ships were moored.

The British didn't do so well when the French could move and fire back and one French vessel even escaped Churchill's treachery.

I've now read the section on the BT tanks in 'Icebreaker'. It's all very plausible. Unless you know anything at all about the production history of Soviet armour that is, in which case it turns into a crock of shite.

"The Mark BT was created to operate on foreignterritory only and, what is more, only on territory where there were good roads, as already observed."

Strange then, that the Germans would have no trouble using a few hundred captured models themselves in Soviet territory (German designation PzKpfw BT 742). Obviously he doesn't address the point that the extra wheel assembly had been left off the later models as being too cumbersome and unnecessary.

He then makes a bizarre claim that the A-20 is some kind of mystery tank designed to drive on tracks across Poland and then switch to wheels for the German Autobahn. He omits the fact that the A-20 design was rejected by the end of 1939 in favour of the T-32 prototype (tracks only) which eventually evolved into the T-34 we all know and love . The T-34 was tracked only of course. Very wide tracks as well. Useful for travelling cross country, especially if it gets a bit muddy. . . .

The irony is that the T-34 & KV-1 & 2 had wide tracks for the Russian environment. The PzKpfw III & IV had to introduce cumbersome track spacers in their early Ausführungs to increase track width from 36cm to 40cm to match Soviet performance. Early war German tank design is very over-rated.

I'm glad you know your Russian manufacturing logistics. David, the holocaust denier, claims that Treblinka was really used to reprocess russian ordinance! Considering the German army and early "Marders" used the Russian 76.2mm anti-tank gun until caputured ordinance ran out and were then rechambered at Rhinemetal in Germany. David simply made this up.

Numan, you are a complete idiot. I have supplied two references from books that detail the track issue concerning the BT-7 and other vehicles. The problem is that you and David, the holocaust denier, know nothing about AFVs, their historic development or running gear systems. You just open your mouth as you are anti-american and stupid.

Instead of admitting the obvious you are offnattering about how the BT-7 reconaissance tank couldn't "perform the "heavy armoured wedge point"and insulting Numan because he ask a question aboutSuvorov (whom you defame) and Mosier (whom you smear)

Yes, you complete idiot. The Red Army marched through Treblinka fighting a war after Treblinka was closed in 1943. The locals used soviet UXBs to search for gold after the Red Army moved forward. Read Lukaszkiewicz again where he says exactly this.

You are so stupid you can't even remember your own stupid statements! Where did Lukaszkiewicz say Treblinka was a reprocessing plant for Soviet muntions? You simply told a HUGE LIE and got caught out yet again. Do you have any evidence at all that the 713,555 people at Treblinka ( Holfle Telegram) even saw Soviet ordinance? Did Rhinemetal transport it's 30ton, rechambering machines to Treblinka, for use by untrained labour, during the 75mm barrel shortage period? ( Soviets use a 76.2mm chamber) Are you that stupid!

Of course it was a transit camp. Why would thatpreclude it having other functions? Treblinka I was a huge quarry...dozens of trains came and went right past Treblinka II.

Anyway, back to your "explanation" that "The locals used soviet UXBs to search for gold".

The tale of brutish Poles rooting around for Jewish gold is standard Holocaust fodder but I do not know of any gold that was found at Treblinka.

In all his digging did Lukaszkiewicz find any gold?He had large crews frantically looking for bodies, found some old clothes, somebroken pots, some coins, a few papers....any gold, Matthew?

In fact, has any Museum person or anybody found any GOLD at Treblinka?

One could also wonder if tales of Polish peasants acquiring tons of SovietUXB's to mine for gold is reasonable.

As Lukaszkiewicz points out, "Since a bomb crater 4 to 5-meter deep is present at the said location – two bombs still lie at a slight distance from this crater – the digging was begun in this crater." So we have a scene where unexploded bombs were felt lying around andnumberous other ones were exploded. You claim that, somehow, Polish peasants acquired Soviet explosives andbrought them on site (and left some of them) to mine for gold.But, in fact, not one gold coin has ever been found (and reported) atTreblinka despite the finding of lots of other garbage. Your tale does not make any sense, Matthew. Mine does.

Jesus you are stupid!1) There was no machinery at Treblinka to reprocess Soviet ordinance. ( As I pointed out a 30ton press for inserting barrels only existed at three places near Rhinemetal and near Swedish chromium and magnesium supplies. 2) The Todt organisation retained skilled german workers for this purpose at these Rhinemetal factories in Germany. Albert Speer talks about it in depth. How were polish children and women pouring hot metal from a high pressure foundry that didn't exist at Treblinka? ( you idiot) 3) There were 713,555 people executed at Treblinka by Dec42 as detailed in the Hofle Telegram, not the 5000 you made up on the spot! You pretend you can't read the Hofle telegram. 4) Why would Germany's Heersamt ( ordinance command) manufacture weapons in the obscure village of Treblinka in Poland? 5) You have absolutely NO EVIDENCE and simply MADE THIS FACT UP!

David wrote: Anyway, back to your "explanation" that "The locals used soviet UXBs to search for gold". The tale of brutish Poles rooting around for Jewish gold is standard Holocaust fodder but I do not know of any gold that was found at Treblinka.

You could look at the photos at Holocaust Contraversies forum of Polish peasants sitting for a photo doing exactly this. The photo came after Lukaszkiewicz's report. Alternatively you can read the comment from the current curator of the Treblinka trust who says he hasn't chased away a local with a metal detector for ten years.

David wrote:In fact, has any Museum person or anybody found any GOLD at Treblinka?

Yep. The SS documents state they transported 18kg to 36kg of gold each week from Treblinka to Warsaw. They found it in people's mouths. Do you want me to post this link yet again? ( Your memory is terrible)

No,. I said they used soviet UXB ordinance in exactly the same way as Taliban peasants use American UXBs as roadside weapons. Modify the fuse, get a switch, a car battery and a spade and off you go. Taliban simply copied the Pied Noir technique from the 1950s used in Algeria by adding a copper plate as a pentetrator. At treblinka they simply wanted a bang....very simple.....

Your "tale" is the most illogical load of crap I have ever heard! You don't know what the Todt organisation is. (Ordinance manufacture with documents) You think untrained Polish peasants can rechamber Soviet weapons with their bare hands ( and somehow have high carbon steel ready to pour without a smelter, without it's power grid or without mega-litres of water) . You have confused the Soviet explosive shells with barrel manufacture ( You don't reprocess the shells you idiot, you reprocess the barrel. The shells were already captured intact Why in hell would you repack explosives into soviet 76.2mm shells and not German 75mm shells for which you already have the barrels . Your stupidity is constant but always amazing.

David...... give up. You tried to suggest I wear jackboots visiting transexual prostitues along Fakland Road in India....because you have no arguments left. The holocaust denial cult is over, kaput, dead in the water. The flat earth society has more members.

Matthew- Another strawman/diversion, Matthew. The more you babble about tons of gold being shipped from Treblinka and vast hoards of gold allegedly being found by greedy Polish brutesthe more you have to explain about the total lack of any gold ever being found at Treblinka.

NO ONE HAS EVER PRODUCED ONE GOLD COIN despite extensiveofficial digging and the building of a large monument at the site.

The physical evidence at the site contradicts your tales.

But I know, Matthew, all the gold coins melted away just like yourfields of bones! That's it....another miracle!

Matthew Ellard wrote:o,. I said they used soviet UXB ordinance in exactly the same way as Taliban peasants

Matthew- The site had bombs lying around, shrapnel and 15 foot deep craters. Tons is probably the correct amount. Unfortunately, the Sovietsand Poles destroyed the evidence.

As to Taliban "peasants", you don't know what you are talking about.

Treblinka II was extensively excavated by the Soviets in 1944and the Poles the next year. They found garbage, broken pots, papers, a few coins, a few bodies,the foundations of some buildings, some burnt posts, and nothing else.
